My Childhood Crushes

Because I enjoy lauging at myself, I present to you...
MY TOP CHILDHOOD CRUSHES!

First off, Mike Seaver. I'm totally going with the bad boy image he exuded for my reasoning on this one. I think he's a bit nutty now-a-days to find him attractive anymore, but I know I wasn't alone in thinking Mr. Cameron here was a hottie. I remember him on the covers of TigerBeat and Bop Magazine. {mega blast from the past there, right? remember begging for those mags at the grocery store so you could rip it apart and plaster your walls?}

2nd, Michael Landon. I watched him in Highway to Heaven every week. I remember crying when I found out he died. Reason for hotness: feathered hair.

3rd: Jordan Knight. I had the tapes, the books, the dolls, the curtains, the bed sheets, even the doll. He had the right stuff. He was the ONLY member of New Kids I even cared about. I remember staying up for their t.v. special and taping it. I watched that over and over. He was supposed to marry me if you didn't know.

4th: MacGyver! I would fake tummy aches from elementary school in order to come home in time to watch the reruns on USA network. {I actually did this a lot. I had the day figured out to what time I could leave in order to not be counted absent and would fake tummy aches about 3 times a week. Also watched Gilligan's Island, The Munsters, and Brady Bunch on TBS when I played elementary school hookie.} Maybe falling in love with MacGuyver is why I find my electronics technician hubby so hot now, it's engrained in me. HA!

5th: Tom Selleck. Now here's the twist. I thought he was the same guy on The Young and The Restless--Victor. Grandma watched a lot of soaps and still does. I actually think my name is from someone on one of these soaps, but anways back to the list... So really, I was in love with Victor's character who I thought was Tom Selleck on Magnum, PI.; but Tom Selleck was the hotter version of him. Anyways, I must have had a thing for mustaches or something.

6th: Tommy the Green then later White Ranger
Now see, the pink ranger on the show was his girlfriend and guess what her name was? KIMBERLY. My name! I would never consider a guy with a ponytail now.

7th: Fred Savage. I would watch The Wonder Years and seemed so much like a real life kid that could be my neighbor or something. I could just imagine us sharing a peanut butter and jelly or something. He reminded me of a boy scout in 5th grade I had a crush on named Dusty Large, who by the way was extremely short kid.

8th: Jonathan Brandis. Gosh I wish he wouldn't have ended his life. I just know he would have ended up one of the sexiest guys the older he got. I first fell for him in Neverending Story 2. In fact, it's probably blasphemy, but I prefer Neverending Story 2 over the first one just because of Jonathan.
And there you have it, my top 8 when I was probably 8. LOL.
